Mostly From Scratch Spaghetti Sauce

[jennythereader]

A big pot containing all of the following is simmering away on my stove right now:

3 medium onions
minced garlic
1 30 oz can of tomato sauce
basil
thyme
oregano
rosemary
salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
balsamic vinegar
sage vinegar
cherry cordial
1 green bell pepper
16 tomatoes of at least 2 varieties

I didn't really measure anything, or follow a recipe, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It sure smells like spaghetti sauce though.

If anyone has suggestions for other things to toss in, let me know.

A tablespoon of Honey. It adds a nice "hmmm...I wonder what that is".

And FYI, two tablespoons of honey in any homemade pizza crust will rock your world. You'll never go back.

I actually did that! I know that adding a little sugar will sometimes cut the acid from the tomatoes, and I figured that honey would do that job just as well, while also adding a little something to the taste.
